Construction:
T' kit includes:
T' Two High from ASP came with all t' parts listed. Well, blow me down! T' kit has standard paper tubes and balsa fins and nose cone. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! T' instructions give you a choice for either 3 or 4 fins with fin guides for whichever fin number you choose. I, for one, particularly liked that they included both so that you could decide for yourself.
T' kit from ASP had great instructions that were easy t' follow. T' instructions included good illustrations that really aided in t' construction process. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Fin guide and alignment guide were included which really helped. This was me first two stage rocket, me bucko, but with t' help o' these great instructions, matey, me bucko, ya bilge rat, I did nay have any problem with the build. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Avast! Blimey! I firmly believe this is a great, slightly advanced model for a beginner. Aye aye! Blimey! ASP rates it at Beginner/Intermediate and I agree.

Flight:
T' first flight be at an outreach event for fifth graders. It be flown as single stage only because thar weren't
any engines available for t' booster engine. T' flight was with an A8-3. Arrr! Begad! T' motor is friction fitted. Flight
preparation steps were followed accordin' t' t' directions. Ya scallywag! Begad! T' Two High had an excellent flight--high and straight. Arrr! Avast, arrr, me proud beauty!
Recovery:
T' shock cord technique was t' tie t' shock cord t' t' engine block. T' instructions directed you t' cut a slit
in t' streamer and run t' shock cord through it. Begad! T' streamer is secured t' t' shock cord usin' tape. Ahoy! T' recovery
system be very easy t' assemble and worked wonderfully. Begad! T' Two High had an excellent recovery. Avast! T' streamer ejected
at apogee and t' rocket did nay drift far at all. There be no damage or wear t' t' rocket.
